This illustration is inspired by a decades-long love of The Prodigy, and some random DJ's fantastic mix of “Charly” and “Out of Space” heard years ago in some random warehouse (or maybe it was a basement…who knows). I can’t think of a better soundtrack to send a fox to space.

This series represents my weird obsession with these tricksters, from the kitsune mythology, to the Saharan fennec fox, to Starfox on the N64.

They adapt, they overcome, and they look dope doing it.

As an artist, I am constantly assessing my technique, my style, absorbing the information my environment gives me and taking on the forms that best reflect my personality in the space. I am a fox, and this is my forest. -Matt Lu
